Back pain during pregnancy - Part 1

9/13/2016

1 Comment

 
​Many women suffer back pain during their pregnancy – particularly the last trimester.  It might seem obvious that this is because of the weight gain during this last phase and this is part right.  The interesting thing about weight gain during pregnancy is that is mostly all at the front, which is not dissimilar to carrying a heavy box out in front you.  When you do this two things happen:
1 – Your muscles in your back have to work harder to carry the extra load.
2 – As your muscles get tired, you tend to lean backward to compensate.  This backward compensatory lean compresses the joints in your lower back which tends to cause pain in a band across the lower back.
There is not much you can do about this pain apart from gentle exercise such as yoga, aqua aerobics and walking.  You’ll probably find that you need frequent rests.  Sitting, or perching your backside on something creates flexion in your lower back and tends to relieve this ache
Also, gently therapies like chiropractic and massage can help.
